Salesians of Don Bosco

Salesian Connection

Don Bosco established the Society of St. Francis of Sales – popularly known as the Salesians. Don Bosco, an orphan himself, had a dream which called him to dedicate his life to the education of poor and disadvantaged young people.

Since its humble beginnings, the Salesians have inspired many others to follow in their footsteps and have expanded their work to include 132 countries worldwide.

The Salesians' work draws inspiration from Don Bosco's style and philosophy of life – 'We believe that there is a treasure in each person and we will help the young to find their inner treasure, name it and use it to build a better world'.

Salesian Life Choices is a lay-men organisation under Don Bosco ethos. We believe in working together with anyone that shares Don Bosco's philosophy of life, independent of which denomination they belong to.

The Salesian Life Choices team is a multicultural & a multi-religious group that shares the passion of working with young people and the believe that the human spirit is remarkably resilient - even in the worse circumstances, there is endless potential waiting to be freed.
